The Purple Onion

So my Mother has been telling me for quite some time to stop at this store in Delavan that they might be interested in my Art. Finally I did, and I am so grateful to be a part of it now!  There is such a good vibe with everyone involved. You will find my Vintage Marble & Glass Tile Pendants there as well as the Abundance Bottles. They have a very nice selection of Artists and consignment clothing. Stay tuned for future classes and workshops here.  I hope you enjoy the Classy Sassy atmosphere!


Faye Blakely the Owner, and Debbie Swenson the Manager have created an awesome Artisans Consignment Boutique. There is also new and consignment clothing and accessories.  Faye has many great workshops and classes scheduled in an interesting array of subjects… more to come.

Something OLD Turns Something NEW Update

PROGRESS…….

I know it took me a while to update this posting, but alas! Here it is!!

Something Old Turns Something New The family heirloom is done! Here are the pictures. I feel so honored to have been able to work with such an amazing piece. There is so much love in it. The master artisan who carved it so many years ago, to the man who purchased it for his sweetheart back home to now his daughter who can wear it with fond memories.

Thank you.

I have an idea, going with it.


Measuring to make sure it is the right length.


Plan A, lace and beading to finish the masterpiece.


The stringing and chains are done, now what for the Cameo???


Taa Daaa! A family heirloom for years to come.

Something Old, turns Something New….every object has a story

PROGRESS…….

I know it took me a while to update this posting, but alas! Here it is!!

I want to blog about this amazing cameo I have been asked to work with….. My clients’ father bought it over seas during WWII and gave it to his wife. She passed it down to her daughter(my client). It is beautiful! It longs to be worn proudly, to share its’ beauty with those who gaze upon it. Sadly, it has never been worn.

I have met with my client and shared some ideas I have, she then got more ideas and brought over some chains, pearls and crystals. We have agreed on a style that we both think will honor the beauty of the piece…. I will like you to join me in the creation process and will continue to post pictures about the process…. Hope you enjoy it!

Jewelry

Art with Intention…. When I work on these pieces, I use mantras, Reiki, positive thoughts, intention, meditation and prayer. This helps to infuse the designs with positve, peaceful, healing energy. Oftentimes a specific design will have special qualities that lend to helping a person with specific issues.

So we call the jewelry “Charged” with energy. Everything is energy; our thoughts, our words…  ourselves…. made up of energy.

Make a Wish!
